lately i've been doing more correspondence the old fashioned way. by hand. using a fountain pen.
there's something in the process of writing that seems to get lost when you sit in front of a computer. almost as if a part of your brain shuts down - or perhaps you use a different part.
but i digress. as part of this choice to "unplug" i've looked into envelope and letter folding (www.ghh.com/elf) as well as using sealing wax and seals.
in my travels of late, i ran into a fairly unique wax seal. from nazi germany, world war two era. very cool, but i'm having trouble translating.
so.... how's your german?
(Salzwedel was pretty easy to figure out - it's a town that's been around since about 800-1112 AD or so.
